I'm thrilled to introduce myself as a Provisionally Licensed Mental Health Practitioner (PLMHP) with extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and families. As a dedicated School Counselor since 2007, I have a rich background in addressing challenges related to academics, divorce, sexual orientation, and gender identities. My counseling practice is centered around solution-focused therapy, tailored to support individuals within their home, school, and community environments where these challenges commonly arise. I am deeply committed to providing the support needed to empower children, adolescents, and families.

Taking the first step to start therapy is really intimidating. I am here to guide you through that process and create a space for you that promotes healing.

In therapy I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among patients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the patient and caretaker alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.

I love dogs, have tattoos, and cuss a little. I like to think I have a good sense of humor and incorporate that when appropriate. That's me in a nutshell! We know one of the biggest factors to therapeutic success is having good rapport between client and clinician. Therapy is not 'one size fits all' and it can be frustrating and overwhelming to find that right fit. When you're asked to face some of your hardest truths, it is paramount to build a therapeutic relationship you feel comfortable with.

“Many small people who in many small places do many small things that can alter the face of the world.” The decision to engage in therapy can be challenging and scary. I believe that decision can be an important step in altering your life for the better. I enjoy providing a safe, relaxing and open environment for clients to have the opportunity to explore and process the challenges they are currently facing. I am passionate about using strength-based and trauma-informed approaches. I have past experience working with children, families, and individuals.

What does it mean to "take care of your mental health?" It's easier to tell when you aren't taking care of it: chronic stress, exhaustion, worry, and panic are all signs your mental health is suffering. If untreated, you could start having nightmares, poor health, trouble in your relationships, and difficulty staying on top of work or school. There are many things that can lead to mental health struggles, like a too-busy schedule, a chronic illness or someone else's troubles, a major life transition, or a death of someone close to you. Or, it could seem to come out of the blue, caused by nothing at all.

As a mental health therapist, my primary goal is to foster a safe and non-judgmental environment where you feel heard and understood. I will collaboratively work with you to build a healing environment. I strive to create an environment and therapeutic relationship that emphasizes trust, genuineness, and mutual respect. This creates a safe space for you to express and explore thoughts, feelings, and past experiences.
